Adam Lane‘s entire football future is ahead of him, but it’s what was behind him that has, thus far, landed him the most notoriety.
Entering Florida’s Birmingham Bowl appearance armed with 72 career rushing yards, Lane ripped off 109 yards and scored his first career touchdown in earning MVP honors. It was around the time of that score where Lane, ummm, made his mark as he, well, pooped his drawers -- and not in the metaphorically scared sense either.
Yes, the running back literally soiled himself at some point before/during/after the first-half score.
Instead of running away from the infamy of such a very public evacuation, Lane has chosen to embrace the rather odd way celebrity slammed into him. I mean, he’s really embracing it. And owning the shi... hell out of it.
“It was the best thing that could have happened,” Lane said according to the Orlando Sentinel. “It got a lot of attention and just put me in a place where I was out there publicly and people knew who I was. I really didn’t get a lot of grief from it. A lot of people were really more focused on how well I did in the game than anything. I feel like it was that way because I embraced it.”
Good for him. There’s no reason for him to feel like crap over something that was simply an accidental act of answering nature’s call.
